  Chapter 525 522 [One city and two passes, I want them all]

  Two days later, Duopolo arrived late.

  They were exhausted and shivering from the cold. At this time, I don't want to chase and kill the enemy, I just want to go into the house to warm up early, if this continues, I will freeze to death.

   "The vice capital of the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner is here, the guard will come out and answer quickly!" A personal guard was sent to shout.

   In the past two days, Yang Zhenqing has been resting.

   Not to mention the number of Han people who were severely frozen, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion had more than 30 injuries, and four of them had their toes amputated urgently.

  Regarding frostbite, the native method of Liaodong people was proved by Datong military doctor to be inadvisable, and it can only be used under unconditional conditions.

  If conditions permit, do not rub the skin. Rubbing with cold water or snow will increase the scope and symptoms of frostbite. In a warm room, apply hot compresses with wet towels, and soak your feet in warm water after the hot compresses—the water temperature should not be too hot.

  During this period, all soldiers and common people who could speak Manchu were dressed in Qing soldiers' uniforms.

   "Don't panic, don't show cowardice, the more casual the better," Yang Zhenqing warned, "Remember, you are the Eight Banners Army, you are not the Datong Army!"

  The soldier nodded his promise, dragged his feet to the city wall, and asked impatiently: "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, will you let people pass?"

  The personal guard immediately reprimanded: "The deputy capital of the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner is here, and the guard of Dapanling Pass will show up soon!"

  The soldiers of the Independent Battalion pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly said, "I...I'll report right away."

   After a long time, Dopolo got impatient with the wait. The soldier from the independent battalion before appeared with another soldier from the independent battalion.

  Both of them wrapped their whole bodies tightly, only their mouth, nose and eyes were exposed, and they were not afraid of being recognized.

  The soldier who arrived later said: "The general is drunk and can't wake up. What military order does the commander have?"

  It is normal to drink alcohol in winter.

  Toporo didn't think much about it. He was shivering with cold, and urged him personally: "Open the door quickly, prepare more hot water, and bring a few jars of wine. The stronger the wine, the better!"

"yes!"

  Closed the door and opened it, Dopolo stepped on the snow and walked, the horse was led by the guards, the snow was too thick to ride a horse.

  Hundreds of Eight Banners troops filed in without realizing the danger at all.

  Before, they had been dawdling. Apart from acting realistically, they were also delaying the setting up of the battlefield for the Independence Battalion. At this moment, they had all arrived at the shooting positions.

  It's a pity that Guancheng is too small, and there is no design for the urn city, otherwise it will be staged to catch the turtle in the urn.

  The soldier imitated the military salute of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nodded and bowed to greet him: "Please, Dutong, please come in and drink to warm up. The hot water will take some time to boil."

  Topolo and several personal guards were taken to the house where the ambush was hidden.

  The rest of the Qing army was also divided into several groups and taken away.

  Yang Zhenqing stood on the city wall and watched, with a grin on his face. His whole family was killed by Duo Duo, and he only wanted revenge for the rest of his life, not counting killing Duo Duo, and he wanted to kill Dorgon himself.

   Seeing that it was almost done, Yang Zhenqing picked up the copper whistle and blew it suddenly.

  The surrounding sections of the city walls also blew copper whistles.

   "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

  After the sound of the copper whistle, gunshots followed one after another.

  The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were suddenly opened, and then gunfires were fired at the Qing soldiers passing by the street.

   "Why are there so many gunshots?" Dopolo stood up in shock as soon as he entered the room and sat down.

  The independent battalion fighters who brought them in quickly escaped from the room.

  Toporo's personal guards chased him out, and he was faced with a volley of guns. The survivors were so frightened that they quickly hid in the house.

  Topolo was so frightened that he pushed open the window and wanted to escape. He was greeted by two long guns, and he was stabbed and fell into the snow on the spot.

  Seizing the city on a snowy night two days ago, and now closing the door to beat the dog, all went so smoothly that it is unbelievable.

   Moreover, no enemy can escape, and all the city gates are closed.

   Two consecutive victories, Shimen Pass in the west and Xiuyan City in the east, none of the Eight Banners soldiers knew about it.

   Then continue to cheat!

  After the wind and snow stopped for a while, Yang Zhenqing led the troops and set off, all changed into the equipment of the Eight Banners Army, and fled to Xiuyan City in a **** "worry".

   Arriving in the evening, they rushed outside the northern city. A soldier shouted in panic in Manchu: "Hurry up and open the city, we have been ambushed by the Nanman! Dutong, Dutong is injured!"

  These guys, covered in blood, limping and running in the snow, really looked like they were defeated.

  Yang Zhenqing was supported by two soldiers and seemed to be seriously injured.

  The Qing army guarding the city did not suspect him, so they opened the city gate in a panic, and some officers ran to check Yang Zhenqing's "injury".

"kill!"

  The soldiers of the Independent Battalion rose violently, quickly occupied the city gate, and then rushed into the city to kill everyone they saw.

   There are only a hundred defenders left in Xiuyan City, how can they resist?

  After thirty or forty people died, all the remaining defenders fled, and the Manchus in the city also fled. Those Manchus, mostly old and weak, women and children, were temporarily recruited by Dopolo because they were young and strong, and they were taken to Dapanling Pass to die.

   Seeing hundreds of people escape from the city, Yang Zhenqing smiled with satisfaction: "There's no need to chase them. It's cold winter, and they don't bring any food. If they can escape from the mountains alive, their lives are really hard."

   This time the city made a lot of money by defrauding the city. The Manchus around Xiuyan City were attacked and killed by Yang Zhenqing several times, and all their livestock and food were moved into the city.

  A lot of food, a lot of livestock!

   After another half a month, the weather was completely clear. Yang Zhenqing left dozens of people to defend the city, and then led the troops back to Dapanling Pass, allowing the Han people there to migrate to Xiuyan City.

   This product is still in hand, it is delicious and delicious in Dapanling Pass, and we will start again when it snows.

   Now that the supplies are more abundant, I am less worried about my feet being frostbitten.

  They repeated their plan, and Xue Ye took down Shimen Pass.

  The Qing troops at Shimen Pass, even if the guards were vigilant, would only pay attention to the west direction. How could they expect that there would be enemies coming from behind them? In a daze, Yang Zhenqing snatched it away.

   When the snow cleared, Yang Zhenqing sent someone to report to Gaizhou.

   Hu Dinggui, who was stationed in Gaizhou City, received the news and thought he had heard it wrong: "You said that Battalion Commander Yang led hundreds of people to take down Xiuyan City, Dapanling Pass, and Shimen Pass?"

"yes!"

  The soldier who reported the letter held his head high and his chest high, his tone was extremely proud.

  Hu Dinggui was speechless for a while, and choked out two words for a long time: "Okay, okay!"

  Yang Zhenqing's operation is tantamount to completely opening up the mountains in southern Liaoning. If you go north and take Ximu City, you can send troops directly from the mountains to attack Haizhou.

  Even if Ximu City cannot be captured, based on the results of the battle, the Qing army will not be afraid of coming from the mountains in the future. The rear of Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou is completely stable. Even Jinzhou and Fuzhou no longer need to garrison troops, and all three divisions will be sent to the front line of Gaizhou.

   Taking down one city and two gates in the mountains has little economic and people's livelihood value, but has great strategic significance.

   It is precisely because of the importance of Xiuyan City that Dorgon sent a deputy capital commander to garrison, and this deputy capital commander is Fei Yingdong's grandson.

  Toporo is indeed very timid in battle, but after all, he has been battle-tested.

   It's better to be a little cowardly, so as not to be lured out of the city, you only need to be counseled in the city and stick to it.

  Who would have thought that Yang Zhenqing and Duopolo, one manipulating like a **** and the other like a ghost, could fight a battle like this.

  If Ximu City was not too far away, and the weather was more severe, Yang Zhenqing even wanted to take Ximu City down. In that case, his troops would be less than fifty miles away from Haizhou, and they could go out to greet the Tartars at any time.

  Let's put it this way, although Yang Zhenqing's territory is all mountainous, in terms of its area alone, it is the sum of the land occupied by the Datong Army in Liaodong in recent years.

   Today, half of the territory of the Datong Army in Liaodong was taken by Yang Zhenqing.

  Several teachers stationed in Liaodong were dumbfounded when they received the news, and the meritorious documents were also sent to Nanjing after the beginning of spring.

  The officials of the Ministry of War were dumbfounded when they saw the map. They had never been to the mountains in southern Liaoning, and they didn't know that they were so poor that they didn't want to shit. They were just very intuitive, and found that the Datong Army's territory in Liaodong suddenly doubled. And this huge battle result was created by a battalion commander with five hundred soldiers.

  Pang Chunlai was overjoyed, took the battle report to find Zhao Han, and said with a smile: "This man Yang Zhenqing, it's good to get a name."

   "The teacher values ​​this person, so give him a promotion!"

Zhao Han joked: "The independent battalion has been expanded into an independent regiment, and it is a reinforced regiment of 3,000 people. Its strength is not included in the divisions, and it is responsible for stationing at Xiuyan City, Dapanling Pass and Shimen Pass. The soldiers asked him to replenish on the spot and recruit local troops. The Han people are soldiers, and how they can be trained depends on how capable they are."

  In the mountains in southern Liaoning, it is not easy to transport military supplies, and I am too lazy to dispatch reserve troops to expand.

  This so-called 3,000-member reinforced regiment, except for the initial 500 members, is considered half-farming and half-war peasants and soldiers, all of whom were serfs from the mountains in southern Liaoning. They plowed the land and fought at the same time. Usually, they only needed to send people to guard the mountain passes. When they encountered Tartars, they immediately entered the city and entered the pass to defend.

  Yang Zhenqing also created a legend. In less than three years as a soldier, he was quickly promoted from a soldier to a regiment commander, and his promotion speed was faster than that of Hu Dinggui.

  The story about Yang Zhenqing was also released quickly. The whole family was killed by Man Qing, his parents, wife and children died tragically, and he was determined to take revenge.

  After operas were staged, novels followed.

  It was adapted by a folk novelist, adding a lot of love for children and changing Yang Zhenqing's background.

  What Yang Zhenqing is a descendant of the Yang family general, and his direct ancestor is Yang Zaixing, a famous anti-golden general in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yue Fei's subordinate. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, Yang Zaixing's descendants kept their names incognito, and their art of war and martial arts were passed down from generation to generation.

  Now, His Majesty the Emperor of Datong is a descendant of Zhao Song, and Yang Zhenqing, a descendant of Yang Zaixing, also came into the world as a star of Wuqu. God destined him to assist the old master's bloodline.

  After making up and making up, Yang Zhenqing became a master of martial arts. With big arms and round waist, eight feet in length, and five catties of rice for a meal, he can take the head of an enemy general among ten thousand armies.

  Xue Ye captured a large area of ​​Lingguan, and it was Yang Zhenqing who used light kung fu to kill the Qing army guarding the pass.

  When Zhao Han turned to this novel, he was amused and laughed out loud. Scholars are still too busy.

  However, the booming novel market proves that the social economy is developing. Nowadays, more and more people can afford novels and can read and read novels.
